Welcome back to our A to Z of Taming Tantrums video series. This week’s letter is the letter O, and O is for Oh $A#!. Firstly, let me apologize for using the s--- word, and please be forewarned that I say the word in the video so don’t watch this one around your children.
When our team talked about the best O word, we decided that the feeling when we respond to our child’s tantrums in a way we really regret was important to discuss. We agreed that many parents would connect with calling it an Oh s--- parenting moment and decided to roll with it.
You know those moments (I have them, too) when our child is experiencing intense emotions and we react in a way that we wish we could go back in time to change? In this week’s video, I talk about what to do after we have a moment like this. Please click on the link below to watch it:
It is important to acknowledge that a regrettable moment has happened and take action to repair the relationship with our child and consider what can be done differently in the future.
I did write a full post about this topic, which has been one of my most-shared posts to date, so please do click here to read that if you’d like more information.
I also invite you over to my Facebook page to learn more about positive parenting.
We're so excited to share with you the A to Z of Taming Tantrums video series!
Each week we'll share the next letter of the alphabet and Andrea will discuss how it relates to reducing tantrums - and improve our experience as parents! You can view each video here as they are added each Friday.
